"The purpose of the suit is to
harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very
easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on
the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will
generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If
possible, of course, ruin him utterly."

- L. Ron Hubbard, A MANUAL ON THE
DISSEMINATION OF MATERIAL, 1955

"When we need somebody haunted we
investigate…When we investigate we do so noisily always."

"People
attack Scientology, I never forget it, always even the score. People
attack auditors, or staff, or organisations, or me. I never forget
until the slate is clear."

- L. Ron Hubbard, MANUAL OF JUSTICE,
1959

"So we listen. We add up
associations of people with people. When a push against Scientology
starts somewhere, we go over the people involved and weed them out.
Push vanishes."

"Our organizations are friendly.
They are only here to help you."

- L. Ron Hubbard, "Dianetic
Contract" 23 May 1969

"ENEMY SP Order. Fair game. May be
deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist
without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or
lied to or destroyed."

"The names and connections, at this
time, of the bitterly opposing enemy are: 1. Psychiatry and
psychology (not medicine). 2. The heads of news media who are also
directors of psychiatric front groups. 3. A few key political
figures in the fields of "mental health" and education. 4. A
decline of monetary stability caused by the current planning of
bankers who are also directors of psychiatric front organizations
[that] would make us unable to function."

"When you move off a point of power,
pay all your obligations on the nail, empower all your friends
completely and move off with your pockets full of artillery,
potential blackmail on every erstwhile rival, unlimited funds in
your private account and the addresses of experienced assassins and
go live in Bulgravia [sic] and bribe the police."

"Having viewed slum clearance
projects in most major cities of the world may I state that you have
conceived and created in the Johannesburg townships what is probably
the most impressive and adequate resettlement activity in
existence."

- L. Ron Hubbard in a letter to H.F.
Verwoerd (widely considered to be the architect of South Africa’s
apartheid system) dated November 7, 1960, reprinted in K.T.C. Kotzé,
INQUIRY INTO THE EFFECTS AND PRACTICES OF SCIENTOLOGY, p. 59,
Pretoria 1973

"In any event, any person from 2.0
down on the Tone Scale should not have, in any thinking society, any
civil rights of any kind, because by abusing those rights he brings
into being arduous and strenuous laws which are oppressive to those
who need no such restraints."

"There are only two answers for the
handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale, neither one of
which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to
their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the
Tone Scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the
three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and
without sorrow."

- L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF
SURVIVAL, p. 170

"The sudden and abrupt deletion of
all individuals occupying the lower bands of the Tone Scale from the
social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural
tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society
may have entered."

- L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF
SURVIVAL, p. 170

"A Venezuelan dictator once decided
to stop leprosy. He saw that most lepers in his country were also
beggars. By the simple expedient of collecting and destroying all
the beggars in Venezuela an end was put to leprosy in that country."

- L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF
SURVIVAL, p. 171

"Unfortunately, it is all too often
true that suppressors to a creative action must be removed before
construction and creation takes place. Any person very high on the
Tone Scale may level destruction toward a suppressor."

- L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF
SURVIVAL, p. 159

"In all the broad Universe there is
no other hope for Man than ourselves."

- L. Ron Hubbard, "Ron's Journal"
1967

"A psychiatrist today has the power
to (1) take a fancy to a woman (2) lead her to take wild treatment
as a joke (3) drug and shock her to temporary insanity (4) incarnate
[sic] her (5) use her sexually (6) sterilise her to prevent
conception (7) kill her by a brain operation to prevent disclosure.
And all with no fear of reprisal. Yet it is rape and murder… We want
at least one bad mark on every psychiatrist in England, a murder, an
assault, or a rape or more than one… This is Project Psychiatry. We
will remove them."

- L. Ron Hubbard in a 1967 letter to
his wife, written during the period when he was creating
Scientology’s secret "upper levels." (Bent Corydon and L. Ron
Hubbard, Jr. a.k.a. Ronald DeWolf, L. RON HUBBARD: MESSIAH OR
MADMAN?Random House 1989)

"Now, get this as a technical fact,
not a hopeful idea. Every time we have investigated the background
of a critic of Scientology, we have found crimes for which that
person or group could be imprisoned under existing law. We do not
find critics of Scientology who do not have criminal pasts."

"This is the correct procedure: Spot
who is attacking us. Start investigating them promptly for felonies
or worse using our own professionals, not outside agencies. Double
curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them. Start
feeding lurid, blood sex crime actual evidence on the attackers to
the press. Don’t ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make
it rough, rough on attackers all the way."

"This [Scientology] is useful
knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill
recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner. By its
use the thousand abilities Man has sought to recover become his once
more."

"Of all the ills of man which can be
successfully processed by Scientology, arthritis ranks near the top.
In skilled hands, this ailment, though misunderstood and dreaded in
the past, already has begun to become history. Twenty-five hours of
Scientology by an auditor who fairly understands how to process
arthritis can be said to produce an invariable alleviation of the
condition. Some cases, even severe ones, have responded in as little
as two hours of processing, according to reports from auditors in
the field."

- L. Ron Hubbard, "Journal of
Scientology," Issue 1-G, 1952

"Leukaemia is evidently
psychosomatic in origin and at least eight cases of leukaemia had
been treated successfully by Dianetics after medicine had
traditionally given up. The source of leukaemia has been reported to
be an engram containing the phrase ‘It turns my blood to water.’"

- L. Ron Hubbard, "Journal of
Scientology," Issue 15-G, 1953

"When somebody enrols, consider he
or she has joined up for the duration of the universe - never permit
an ‘open-minded’ approach... If they enrolled, they’re aboard, and
if they’re aboard they’re here on the same terms as the rest of us -
win or die in the attempt. Never let them be half minded about being
Scientologists... When Mrs. Pattycake comes to us to be taught, turn
that wandering doubt in her eye into a fixed, dedicated glare… The
proper instruction attitude is, ‘We'd rather have you dead than
incapable.’"

"Advanced Courses [in Scientology]
are the most valuable service on the planet. Life insurance, houses,
cars, stocks, bonds, college savings, all are transitory and
impermanent... There is nothing to compare with Advanced Courses.
They are infinitely valuable and transcend time itself."

"’Psychiatry’ and ‘psychiatrist’ are
easily redefined to mean ‘an anti-social enemy of the people‘. This
takes the kill crazy psychiatrist off the preferred list of
professions...The redefinition of words is done by associating
different emotions and symbols with the word than were
intended...Scientologists are redefining ‘doctor‘, ‘Psychiatry’ and
‘psychology’ to mean ‘undesirable antisocial elements‘...The way to
redefine a word is to get the new definition repeated as often as
possible. Thus it is necessary to redefine medicine, psychiatry and
psychology downward and define Dianetics and Scientology upwards.
This, so far as words are concerned, is the public opinion battle
for belief in your definitions, and not those of the opposition. A
consistent, repeated effort is the key to any success with this
technique of propaganda."
